alexlincs 26th Jun 2024		Fun fact Jack The Ripper was produced for television by Thames Television, but they had the hindsight to shoot on film (35mm I think); this means the Blu-Ray looks incredible and was perfect for remastering. I've seen made for TV films that were produced 20 years later and look shocking due to them being shot on video or studio VT cams.



Magic Marmalade 22nd Jun 2024		Rated 8/10 Difficult to judge anything to do with such a historically nebulous figure as Jack The Ripper, as theories abound, and "facts" come and go... But outside of "historical documentaries" and the like, it does make for great dramatic material in which to explore theories and hypotheses... ...This, in my opinion, is the best of them - A very engaging, and excellently realised examination of the "facts" of the case, such as was available to the production at the time, and from a particular point of view, or points of view. Certainly required viewing for current or prospective "Ripperologists". (But even if you are not either of these, cracking drama for those who like a mystery / intrigue / "conspiracy theory" watch) 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
